Question
Been spotting this plant everywhere but can't seem to identify it. It doesn't always have this purple hue to it. I've seen it all over massachusetts: roadsides, wetlands, seaside. is it a solidago? doesn't seem to have flowers but maybe it is too early to see them. I've seen it grow to be about waist height.
Answer
Dear jmckenzie96, I can't identify your plant with confidence, but two species come to mind. One is Hieracium kalmia (Kalm's hawkweed), but this species usually has abundant, stiff, spreading hairs on the leaves. Another is Eurybia radula (rough wood-aster). Check those two species as your plant is likely one of them.
